MAPEI’s Jim Whitfield honored with inaugural NTCA Technical Committee Impact Award

MAPEI Corporation is proud to announce that Jim Whitfield, MAPEI’s Architectural Technical Manager, has been honored with the National Tile Contractors Association’s (NTCA) inaugural Technical Committee Impact Award.

The new award recognizes individuals whose expertise and volunteer contributions have made a lasting impact on the NTCA Technical Committee and the NTCA Reference Manual – a trusted industry resource for tile and stone contractors.

As the only manufacturer-based individual among this year’s honorees, Whitfield has long been an active voice on the committee, helping to ensure that the NTCA Reference Manual accurately reflects current tile-installation standards, manufacturer insights and best practices for the trade.

“I’m deeply honored to be recognized by the NTCA Board and Officers,” Whitfield said. “It’s been a privilege to collaborate with so many talented tile professionals who share a passion for advancing our industry through education, innovation and integrity.”

“Jim’s commitment to technical excellence reflects MAPEI’s own dedication to quality, education and collaboration,” said Luigi Di Geso, President and CEO of MAPEI Corporation. “We’re incredibly proud to see his leadership recognized.”

The NTCA Technical Committee Impact Award will continue annually, honoring individuals whose exceptional contributions advance both the committee’s work and the evolution of the NTCA Reference Manual.
